Usually when Wake students roll the quad, it's after a big win, the unforgettable victories like when they beat Duke earlier this month. This time was different.WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- Wake Forest students resorted to their celebratory tradition of "rolling the quad" after Coach Bzdelik's resignation.

"Everyone was getting out here. Everyone was having fun. I think everyone is excited for some change," said Tyler Sweeney, a Wake Forest sophomore.

Kevin Dillon, a Wake Forest sophomore said, "There's no doubt it's pretty disrespectful to the coach but you know what? I think it just shows that we have passionate fans here at Wake Forest. It's good to see people care."

Not all fans welcomed rolling the quad.

Mark Gigliotti, a Wake fan said, "I was disappointed and a little upset. Everybody's allowed to do what they want to do but I think it's a little disrespectful."

Outward displays of disapproval for Bzdelik have been going on for a while. Last May, fans bought a billboard on US 52 in Winston-Salem. It said, "Buzz Out" and "Demand accountability, REWAKE the nation."

"That's difficult when you hear things that are hurtful. That can hurt someone as it would anyone. I don't think it played a role in his decision necessarily but it didn't make life pleasant all the time either," said Wellman.
